    I am 36 with kids and divorced. I would prefer to date someone else with kids because I even find many men around my age don't want that responsibility. Now when I see a man who is older then me and their longest relationship is less then 3yrs it sends up red flags. I would also think when you are older u either have kids or u don't because u don't want them (or never got the chance). alot of young men from my experience want kids of their own so they only date older women for the sex not the long term potential. just my two cents (maybe a bit jaded lol)
    But being realistic sex is also a major part of the relationship. You can't ever have a relation without sex.

    But not the deal breaker....

    Yeah you're right

    This thread is hilarious. Dating in the 40s is hard. If you've never been married and you're now dating someone in this age, the chances of folks being divorced and/or with kids is very high. This means more complications than usual and scheduling between the children weekends and more. It's so tricky.

    When I was 18, I dated someone with kids and his ex wives scarred me for the rest of my dating days.

    Any success stories out there?

    When I changed the age in my date site profile from 39 to 40, the quantity of responses plummeted but the quality increased.

    I was 46 when I met the man of my dreams on OKCupid and we are now engaged.

    physical intimacy is an important part of any healthy relationship. it's not just about the sex though. however if all u have is sex then I'm sorry that's not a healthy relationship... eventually u need more
